Wang Li proposed that they head to the Guanghai Shopping Center, renowned for being one of the largest and most diverse shopping centers in Huahai City.
This shopping center boasts an extensive collection of items, including a vast array of luxury brands, with seventy to eighty percent of the world's most luxurious brands available. It is particularly true regarding fashion, with tens of thousands of fashion pieces.
Liu Yong gave Li Changle a questioning look, and Li Changle responded with a nod before saying,
"Alright, let's head to the Guanghai Shopping Center."
As the three of them left the restaurant, Wang Li's enthusiasm was palpable as he hailed a taxi.
The shopping center approximately located ten kilometers away from their current location.
However, Liu Yong interjected, saying, "No need to hail a taxi, I have my own car."
"Wang Li," remarked in a surprised tone, "I didn't know you had your own car. You must be doing even better than I thought!"
Considering it had only been a little over a year since he graduated from university, Liu Yong was proud of himself for being able to purchase a car in Huahai City.
He was doing better than at least 90% of his peers.
Liu Yong smiled modestly, without any inclination to boast or show off.
He took out his phone and sent Chen Hu a location via WeChat, requesting that he come to pick them up and take them to the Guanghai Shopping Center.
It took several minutes for Chen Hu to arrive.
Meanwhile, Wang Li took Li Changle aside and asked her hushedly, "Lele, what does your boyfriend do? You never told me if he's wealthy or not."
Li Changle replied, "You never asked me about this before, so how was I supposed to know?"
Wang Li playfully teased, "Well, it seems like you've found yourself a rich boyfriend and kept it a secret from me."
They both laughed and continued chatting.
Li Changle quickly replied, "Okay, okay, my apologies. Brother Yong runs his own company, so he's relatively wealthy."
Wang Li finally understood the situation, realizing why Liu Yong had ordered such luxurious items during their meal, such as the gold medal bird's nest and more than 10,000 bottles of red wine.
Li Changle couldn't help but cast another glance at Liu Yong, pondering to herself his financial status. She wondered if he had hundreds of thousands, millions, or even millions of dollars. It was clear to her now that Liu Yong's company had a specific economic strength.
As Wang Li thought about the possibility of Liu Yong having millions of dollars, she couldn't help but envy her friend's good fortune. Not only was Liu Yong handsome, but he was also wealthy.
Shortly after, Chen Hu arrived in a brand new Cullinan, pulling up beside them. Wang Li's eyes widened in amazement at the sight of the luxurious vehicle.
Wang Li couldn't believe her eyes as she stared in amazement at the luxurious Cullinan, worth at least seven or eight million yuan. She knew this was a car that only the truly wealthy could afford, and it was a symbol of status and power.
As the car came to a stop, Wang Li watched in disbelief as a young man stepped out of the driver's seat, walked to the back door, and respectfully opened it for Liu Yong, addressing him as "Boss." It only added to Wang Li's astonishment and admiration for her friend's wealth and success.
Liu Yong gestured for Wang Li and Li Changle to get into the car, and they eagerly complied. Wang Li was still shocked at the sight of the luxurious Cullinan, unable to believe that her friend's boyfriend was so wealthy.
She couldn't contain her excitement as she exclaimed, "Wow, your boyfriend is so rich!"
Her face lit up with joy at the thought of riding in such a luxurious car.
Wang Li quickly got into the car, still marveling at the luxury of the Cullinan. Li Changle reminded her to keep her voice down, and they all settled in for the ride to Guanghai Shopping Center. With a sense of excitement and anticipation, they embarked on their shopping adventure.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Wang Li's excitement still hadn't subsided even after driving for some distance. She couldn't help but look around the car, admiring everything she saw.
It finally dawned on her why Liu Yong could order expensive items like the gold bird's nest worth almost 2,000 yuan per cup and a bottle of wine without hesitation.
The luxury and opulence of the car made it clear that Liu Yong was a man of means.
It's no wonder that Liu Yong's behavior and style are so different from ordinary people. He must have been successful in his business to achieve such a high net worth. Wang Li couldn't help but envy Li Changle for finding such a good partner.
As the car drove towards Guanghai Shopping Center, Wang Li couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Yong, what kind of company do you run? How did you become so successful?"
Liu Yong smiled and replied:
"It's a trading company, mainly dealing with import and export trade. I started from scratch, and it took a lot of hard work and persistence to get to where I am today."
Wang Li nodded in admiration, impressed by Liu Yong's entrepreneurial spirit and determination. She couldn't help but think about her future and how she could achieve the same level of success.
The car glided smoothly and swiftly towards the shopping mall, arriving in just twenty minutes.
As one of the largest shopping centers in Huahai City, it boasts an impressive variety of merchandise, including a wide selection of different brands.
Upon arrival, the group of four found themselves in the women's wear section, which was brimming with high-end fashion labels such as Chanel.
Liu Yong asked Lele, "How do you feel about this shirt? You always look great in jeans, and I think this shirt would perfectly match you."
The Chanel saleswoman said, "Your boyfriend has quite the eye for fashion, my dear. You are absolutely stunning with such a captivating presence. This shirt would undoubtedly enhance your natural charm even further."
Li Changle appeared hesitant, likely due to the exorbitant price tag of the shirt, which exceeded 8,000 yuan.
Noticing Li Changle's hesitation, Wang Li gently nudged her and softly reminded her, "Lele, don't be silly. You don't have to pay for it."
However, Li Changle said, " Yong, it's too valuable."
Liu Yong reassured her, saying,
"Don't worry about it. I made a fortune yesterday, and now it's your turn. Just go try it on, and I'm sure you'll look even more beautiful."
In a hurry, Wang Li pushed Li Changle into the fitting room, and the saleswoman selected a size perfect for her tall stature of 172 cm.
Li Changle succumbed to Wang Li's insistence despite her initial reluctance and tried on the shirt despite her initial reluctance. When she emerged from the fitting room, Liu Yong's eyes widened with amazement.
His girlfriend was already stunning, but she exuded a truly irresistible charm in this shirt.
"Lovely, this dress suits you perfectly. Let's buy it," Liu Yong exclaimed.
However, Li Changle remained hesitant and said, "But Brother Yong, it's far too expensive. I'll pay for it myself."
Liu Yong quickly intervened and replied, "How could I let you pay?
It is for my girlfriend; I will handle it." With that, he signaled to the saleswoman to prepare the invoice.
Wang Li seized the opportunity and interjected,
"Brother Yong, can I get some credit too? You could also buy me something as a gift."
Li Changle pinched Wang Li's arm and whispered, "You're insane! You want my boyfriend to buy you something?"
Wang Li grinned and retorted, "What's the problem? Are you feeling jealous?"
Li Changle replied, "I am not jealous," with a hint of pride in her tone.
Liu Yong overheard their exchange and pondered momentarily before conceding,
"Alright, you can also receive some credit."
Wang Li was delighted at the news.
Liu Yong had expected Wang Li to select expensive items, but to his surprise, she chose a moderately priced bag from a famous brand other than Chanel.
It was worth over two thousand yuan.
After spending an hour or two at the Guanghai Shopping Center, the group departed around ten in the evening.
During the car ride, Wang Li proposed,
"Brother Yong, it's getting late. Why don't you take Lele to a nice hotel for the night instead of dropping her off at the rental room? It'll be much more comfortable."
